Plot
A group of friends at a Halloween party play a Japanese board game called Morbid - where answers to the game could mean the difference between life and death.
Cast
Zero familiarity with anyone involved, and most were truly awful
Verdict
There's a sub-genre of horror I love, namely where people are thrown into a deadly game. Whether it be Cube, Circle, The Human Race, Would You Rather or one of countless others. I was excited for Morbid as it's another one, but boy it's not on the same level.
The first thing you notice is how cheap it all feels, the cast come across as untrained, the effects are pretty much non-existent, the kills are some of the worst I've seen in a long while and the plot is random imagery with absolutely no coherence.
I watched it with the missus and we both were in awe at the absolute mess we were witnessing.
I don't know what can be said other than I recommend it, as something to avoid.
Rants
Anyone seen Circle? That was a hell of a film, can be found on Netflix I believe or at least it can in the UK I think. Another movie with a bunch of people who wake up in a strange place and are forced to play a game of death where there can only be one winner. Full of moral and ethical choices it's fascinating, entertaining and one that keeps you thinking long after. Basically it's everything Morbid is not.
Breakdown
All feels cheap
Terrible kills
Plot is dreadful.
